Research On The Application Of The Unifying Strategy Existed In The Military Mighty Force Of Ming Dynasty

The reasons for the strategies of unifying peacefully the Northeast at the beginning of Ming Dynasty: to begin with, it was militarily and politically needed for Taizu of Ming Dynasty to gather force and eliminate Shun , the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and therefore to unify the country;Secondly, according to Taizu, it was likely to realize the unity of the Northeast by restoring the kinship with Gaoli Dynasty , getting rid of Shun and isolating other Yuan forces in the northern and eastern part of Nahachu;Thirdly, Taizu thought that it was possible for Nahachu to submit to Ming Dynasty, which is another important reason for the Ming Dynasty to decide on the strategy of peacefully taking control of the Northeast.The application of the unifying strategy existed in the military mighty force of Ming Dynasty and the local military attacks under the condition of overall integration. Therefore, The so-called peaceful unity is " the peaceful unity in war". In the application of the unifying strategy, the Ming government displayed outstanding political talents, cutting the contact between Nahachu and Gaoli, isolating the Yuan force in Northeast and the Nahachu groups.The strategy was, in fact, one of "attacks for closing-in". The Ming government took the Nahachu groups as the main subject to realize the strategy of unity. Ming Dynasty gradually formed a connected forts to surround but not attack the Nahachu groups, but attacked the other left Yuan forces without surrounding them, and therefore, realizing a bigger closing-in to the Nahachu groups. This tactics forced the rest of Yuan forces into submitting to Ming dynasty so the purpose of "promoting peace by attacking" was realized in the largest extreme. In stead of resisting and fighting back, Nahachu offered surrender soon after the attack from Ming force. This indicates that the action of surrendering persuasion played its role, just that the mistakes of the Ming generals made the whole process complex, but luckily, it did not influence the overall situation.
